As part of the USP hydrogeology team, we are excited to participate in the DATASET project with our esteemed partners from France, Italy, Poland, and South Africa. DATASET presents a unique opportunity to address critical challenges in groundwater vulnerability in coastal regions, where 2.7 billion people live and the impacts of climate change are increasingly felt. We are committed to contributing to the resilience of coastal communities and look forward to the valuable insights this project will provide for local and global solutions.
